Setting the Network Settings using the VLS Discovery Utility

The VLS discovery utility looks for all the devices on the same subnet as the Windows computer on
which it is running. It then lists the devices and indicates whether they are configured (have an IP
address) or unconfigured.
You can use the VLS discovery utility to set the network settings on an unconfigured VLS, and to view
the network settings of configured devices. The utility can also be used to remove LUNs from the user
interface after one or more LUNs are no longer configured or have been removed from the VLS.
NOTE:
The VLS discovery utility can only be used to change the network settings on a VLS with no IP address.
Once a VLS has an IP address, either through the DHCP or the VLS discovery utility, its network settings
cannot be changed using the VLS discovery utility. Use the CLI command set or Command View VLS
to change the network settings on a VLS that has an IP address. See
